Salary Range

$45,000 – $65,000 USD per year (based on experience, certifications, and shift differentials). Bonuses and overtime are available for eligible staff.

About the Role

As a Remote Direct Support Professional (DSP), you will deliver personalized, person‑centered support to adults with developmental disabilities through video calls, phone check‑ins, and digital care plans. Your responsibilities include:

• Conducting daily virtual check‑ins to monitor health, medication adherence, and emotional well‑being.
• Facilitating online skill‑building activities such as budgeting, cooking tutorials, and social interaction exercises.
• Collaborating with on‑site case managers, families, and therapists to update individualized service plans.
• Documenting progress and incidents in the agency’s secure electronic health record (EHR) system.
• Providing crisis de‑escalation support via video or phone, following established protocols.

Why This Position Is 100 % Remote

All client interactions are conducted through secure telehealth platforms, so you never need to leave your home office. The organization supplies a laptop, headset, and a stipend for high‑speed internet to ensure you have the tools you need to succeed.

Key Requirements

• High school diploma or GED; associate’s degree in Human Services, Psychology, or related field is a plus.
• Minimum of 1 year experience working with adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities (paid or volunteer).
• Certification as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), or equivalent preferred.
• Reliable broadband connection (minimum 25 Mbps download) and a quiet, private workspace.
• Excellent verbal communication skills and strong empathy.
• Proficiency with video‑conferencing tools (Zoom, Teams) and basic EHR navigation.
• Background check, drug screening, and up‑to‑date CPR/First Aid certification.

Benefits & Perks

• Fully remote – work from anywhere in the United States.
• Flexible scheduling with options for part‑time or full‑time shifts, including evenings and weekends.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Paid time off, sick leave, and paid holidays.
• Annual professional development stipend for certifications or courses.
• Employee assistance program (EAP) and mental‑health resources.
• Technology allowance and ongoing IT support.

Career Growth Opportunities

Our organization invests in its remote staff. After 12 months of successful performance, DSPs can advance to Remote Team Lead, Virtual Program Coordinator, or specialize in areas such as Tele‑Behavioral Health or Remote Training Development.

How to Stand Out

When applying, highlight any experience with virtual care, telehealth platforms, or remote documentation. Demonstrate your ability to build rapport through a screen and provide concrete examples of problem‑solving in a home‑based setting.

Our Culture

We believe that caring for people starts with caring for our staff. Our remote team participates in monthly virtual coffee chats, wellness challenges, and quarterly in‑person retreats (optional) to foster connection and celebrate successes.

Next Steps

If you’re ready to combine your passion for disability support with the freedom of a home‑based career, review the qualifications above and prepare a résumé that showcases your remote work experience. This is your chance to make a lasting impact while enjoying the work‑life balance you deserve.
